Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides TREC-compliant designated broker sponsorship for property management companies throughout Texas — from solo operators to institutional multi-family portfolios.
TREC Requirement
Under TREC Chapter 1101, any person or entity managing property for compensation in Texas must hold a real estate license and be sponsored by a licensed Texas broker. Operating without one is a TREC violation that can result in license suspension, fines, and civil liability.
Every property management transaction — leasing, collecting rent, managing repairs — requires a TREC license. Your LLC must be sponsored by a licensed Texas broker.
TREC Rule 535.146 requires strict separation of operating funds, owner escrow, and security deposits. Your designated broker is legally responsible for your trust account compliance.
TREC audits are unannounced and can result in license suspension within days. PM Accelerator™ keeps your records audit-ready at all times.

Out-of-State Entry
Out-of-state property management companies cannot operate in Texas without a TREC-licensed designated broker. Texas Broker Sponsor™ specializes in helping CA, AZ, CO, and FL operators enter the Texas market with full compliance.
California operators cite lower regulatory burden, no rent control, and significantly higher cap rates as primary reasons for entering the Texas market.
Arizona operators expanding into Texas typically manage SFR portfolios and are looking to replicate their Phoenix-market model in Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.
Colorado operators are primarily attracted to Austin and Dallas as natural analogs to their home markets, with similar demographics and tech-sector tenant bases.
Florida operators expanding into Texas are typically institutional SFR investors or growing PM companies looking to diversify their geographic footprint.
Common Questions
Yes. Under TREC Chapter 1101, any person or entity that manages residential or commercial property for compensation in Texas must hold a Texas real estate license and be sponsored by a licensed Texas broker. This applies to LLCs, sole proprietors, and corporations alike.

Yes, but only if the company has a Texas-licensed designated broker sponsoring its Texas operations. Out-of-state PM companies cannot simply extend their home-state license to Texas. Texas Broker Sponsor™ specializes in helping out-of-state operators enter the Texas market with full TREC compliance.
A designated broker is a TREC-licensed broker who takes legal responsibility for your PM company's real estate activities. A broker sponsor is a company or individual that provides this designated broker service. Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides Ron Miranda as your designated broker under a structured oversight program.
Under PM Accelerator™, Ron Miranda reviews your trust account reconciliation on a monthly or bi-weekly basis depending on your tier. He verifies that operating funds, owner escrow, and security deposits are properly separated and reconciled in compliance with TREC Rule 535.146.
